Being called 'sir'

[Mr. Me]

It's funny you'd be addressed as "Sir" considering your attitude makes you sound like a child.

I feel the same way and im only 21. When theres someone helping me and theyre a year younger, calling me sir isnt necessary in such an informal situation.

This is one of the small things that is wrong with this world. People have forgotten about respect and manners. If people were more respectful of their elders, you would understand the history & meaning behind being called Sir. Its meant as a compliment and a sign of respect, thats why multi million dollar corporations who's goal is to make as much money as possible train their employees to do so.

A lesson from the money hungry corporations could be learned here.

Question for you Beavis.

Do you find taking such a negative view helps your situation? I'm not disagreeing with what you say but I don't see the point in looking for a negative in every situation.

Interesting accusation coming from the guy who asked why we need morals.
That seems quite cynical to me.
Besides, lighten up. There are times when it's used respectfully, but more often then not, it's just as I described. I find it amusing when I hear guys ripping each other's heads off, and calling each other Sir. See? Humor.

A negative social side effect of excessive competition brought on by excessive capitalism.

Maybe it had nothing to do with you? Perhaps they refer to all non-teenage men as "sir" when doing their jobs.

Plus, what's so bad about being called "sir"? It's a respect thing, isn't it?

Thats entirely the point of my thread. I don't need morals to be a good person or to have a positive outlook on life. I don't see anything cynical about it.

I just get tired of the negativity in here sometimes and I was just trying to promote a more positive agenda.

At McD's, the 'sir' means nothing; don't worry about it.

However, if you are hitting on a girl or she thinks you are, and she calls you 'sir,' that means 'get away from me, you creepy old loser.' I have had a very attractive young employee at Home Depot call me sir - she's just used to every guy hitting on her. I wasn't even trying to, mostly just laughing at her for climbing a ladder in front of me and sticking her ass right in my face. But she thought I was, thus the 'sir.' It's a polite way of saying "you have no chance, buddy."

I was 1st called "Sir" when I was walking around the streets of Orlando one day when I was 18. I wasn't pissed off, just shocked. She asked for directions and I told her "I'm not sure, I'm not from around here." As if the big block letter George Mason shirt didn't speak volumes on that.
